Instructor Details

Kamil Domanski

Im Kamil and Im a language tutor based in China. I can speak 4 languages now including Mandarin Chinese. Learning and teaching languages are my biggest hobbies, but It wasnt always like this. In my middle school, my English was one of the worst. My English language teacher told my parents, that I just dont have talent for learning languages and I need to accept it. One year after, my English was best in my class. What happened then? Well, I didnt spend a single second learning English at home, I just met some English-speaking friends online and I wanted to communicate with them. At first I was using an online translator responding them like: My doesnt understind, but after couple of months I realized that I dont even need to use translator anymore. This experience taught me, that the best way of learning languages is learning like children; make mistakes, guess how to say something, listen to the others and copy them.
After some time I learned Russian. My learning Russian method was similar; learn the most common Russian words (use flashcards) and then just try to use them talking to Russian people. After Russian I decided to challenge myself and learn many people say the hardest language in the world Chinese. After couple of months learning Chinese I realized, learning Chinese is different from learning European languages, and I - based on many books and scientifically proven learning methods modified my learning methods especially for Chinese learners. In my courses

Her explanation of the courses up to now is very understandable and easy to learn.

By Fatima Afzal on 11/15/2020

Yeah its very good and it helps with remembering the words

By Truc Anh Pham on 11/15/2020

Instructor's explanation is quite boring and hard to follow. the explanation about pronunciation and tone could be more clearer, for example "ni" and "hao" is pronounced with the 3rd tone if stand separately, but "ni" in "nihao" will become the first tone

Great course! I'm so happy I have come across it! :)

By Wico Smit on 11/8/2020

Good structure and easy enough for beginners, just wish there'd be more instruction on writing and understanding the characters.

By Andrejs Grigorjevs on 11/8/2020

I have studied some Chinese prior to this, but the structure of the lessons as well the exercises in the resource tab make it very easy to learn and remember the new words and how to use them.

By Eleanor Tugade on 11/8/2020

This is a good course, you will learn words in-context since each word is use in a sentence. Though, they read sample sentences slowly not with the normal speed. In my case, I would prefer that after reading it slowly the first time they will read it using the normal speed after. In this way, I can really practice how to say it without sounding like I'm reading something. But overall, this is a good course you should try it! It's way cheaper as compared to enrolling yourself with live HSK1-HSK3 language course.

By Vani Kapoor on 10/26/2020

I believe its bit tuff, lesson one should be about the alphabet then tone then sentence. here you explain everything in one go

By Dhruv Dholakia on 10/23/2020

Its bit difficult to understand the language especially its characters. Lets hope for the best, I will soon be able to understand more n more Chinese language.
